Overview
Cardio-oncology is the cardiac care of cancer patients. Cardiac issues may develop during cancer treatment or may be pre-existing or may develop as late effects. There has been increasing recognition of these issues recently which has led to the development of the new sub-speciality of cardio-oncology bringing together multidisciplinary teams of cardiologists, oncologists and allied healthcare professionals.
This 45-minute webinar with 15-mins live Q&A, presented by Dr Daniel Lenihan (Washington, US) and moderated by Dr Arjun Ghosh (Barts Heart Centre and UCLH, UK) is designed for those interested in learning about how to set up a brand new cardio-oncology service at their centre.
Dr Daniel Lenihan, MD is a cardio-oncologist specialising in cardiology, heart disease and advanced heart failure. He has experience in developing cardio-oncology programs at both Vanderbilt in Nashville and Washington University. He is the current President of the International Cardio-Oncology Society.
Dr Arjun Ghosh is a consultant cardiologist at Barts Heart Centre and UCLH. He helped establish cardio-oncology services at both hospitals and is the first cardiologist in the Uk appointed specifically in cardio-oncology.
